Qin Rumeng's eyes grew brighter as she spoke, as if she had discovered some great truth. Pointing her finger at Qin Xiao, she puffed out her chest and spoke with absolute certainty.
"Qin Xiao, I have uncovered the truth. All your schemes and tricks have gone up in smoke!"
"With my brilliant mind, I already knew everything you were doing. Don't even think about making us fight among ourselves!"
She rested her hands on her hips and tilted her head up, putting on a highly arrogant air.
Hearing this, the crowd was utterly astonished.
The looks they directed at Qin Xiao clearly revealed their hostility.
Only Shen Han stood there with a blank expression.
Wait, he hadn't even finished his one-man show, so why was someone already speaking up for him?
He really wanted to pry open Qin Rumeng's skull to see exactly what was inside.
How could there be such a stupid woman in this world?
However, this suited him perfectly.
After Qin Rumeng's explanation, the crowd let go of their hostility toward Shen Han, and their attitudes softened somewhat.
At this moment, Emperor Qinwu withdrew his imposing aura, and a gentle look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Shen Han.
"Shen Han, I wrongly blamed you."
Empress Dowager Wen took a step forward and affectionately held Shen Han's hand.
"Han'er, now that the matter is resolved, we will compensate you."
As she spoke, she cast a sidelong glance at Qin Xiao and gave a cold snort.
"Some people just love to frame good people. I don't know where they picked up such a vile habit!"
Qin Rumeng shook her head with her hands behind her back, adopting an arrogant posture.
"Mother, what kind of morals can you expect from someone raised in the countryside? Besides framing and envying others, what else can he do?"
"If it weren't for my cleverness today, Qin Xiao's scheme would have succeeded."
Empress Dowager Wen smiled brightly, stroking Qin Rumeng's head without sparing any praise.
"My precious daughter is indeed exceptionally clever. Otherwise, we would have been deceived by that scoundrel today, and the consequences would have been unimaginable."
The tense string in her heart also relaxed.
It seemed that Qin Rushuang was fine.
Perhaps the couple was still in their bridal chamber.
Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Wen's gaze toward Shen Han held a hint of guilt.
It was their fault for interrupting the young couple's wedding night.
But ultimately, the blame lay with Qin Xiao for speaking recklessly and insisting that Shen Han was a bad person.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have believed such slander.
At this thought, a surge of anger rose in Empress Dowager Wen's heart.
She glared fiercely at Qin Xiao, as if trying to kill him with her eyes.
Right at this moment.
Shen Han leaned closer to Emperor Qinwu.
"Imperial Father, Shuang'er has a message she asked me to bring to you."
"Oh?"
Emperor Qinwu looked radiant, his face full of smiles.
"On her wedding day, what does that girl want to say to me?"
Shen Han leaned in a bit more, leaving barely a fist's distance between them.
To outsiders, this merely looked like a deep bond between father-in-law and son-in-law.
"Shuang'er says..."
Shen Han wore a respectful expression.
But in the next second, his gaze drastically changed!
"Emperor Qinwu, go to hell!"
An emerald-green dagger slashed through the air, creating the phantom of a green snake as it aimed straight for Emperor Qinwu's throat!
Emperor Qinwu's face filled with terror!
He never expected that Shen Han would launch a sudden sneak attack at this moment!
"Ah!"
A shrill, miserable scream erupted from his throat.
Blood splattered!
"Imperial Father!"
"Protect His Majesty!"
Empress Dowager Wen and Qin Rumeng shouted anxiously.
Everyone was shocked by the scene unfolding before them.
No one had anticipated that Shen Han would suddenly turn violent!
Emperor Qinwu managed to dodge the fatal blow, but at the cost of an arm!
His right arm was severed by the dagger and fell to the ground.
Clutching his severed arm, Emperor Qinwu retreated frantically, looking at Shen Han with a mix of shock and fury!
Just moments ago, they had been exchanging pleasantries. How could he want his life in the blink of an eye?
What on earth was going on!
"Why! Shen Han, why did you sneak attack me!"
Filled with rage, Emperor Qinwu gritted his teeth and glared resentfully at Shen Han.
"I am your father-in-law!"
Shen Han toyed with the poisoned dagger in his hand, his face full of disdain and contempt.
"Father-in-law? You think you're worthy? Your daughter is nothing more than a cultivation vessel for this Buddhist Son."
The moment these words were spoken!
The eyes of everyone present widened uncontrollably!
A cultivation vessel...
How was this any different from a brothel prostitute?
The dignified Eldest Princess of the Great Qin, actually taken to be used as a cultivation vessel!
If word of this got out, wouldn't the Great Qin be mocked by the entire world!
"Didn't the Third Princess just say that all of this was Qin Xiao's fault? Why has it changed now?"
"It seems the Eldest Princess really has been reduced to a cultivation vessel. How much suffering must she be enduring!"
"Now the Supreme Emperor has lost an arm, all because of the Third Princess's wild guesses!"
....
The sound of people whispering came from all directions.
Qin Rumeng's face turned as pale as paper. She staggered back a few steps and slumped onto the ground.
"Impossible, how could this be!"
"Sister... Sister is really suffering! She's being ruined by someone..."
"My guesses were all wrong! Why is this happening!"
She held her head in agony, tears instantly streaming down as her heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.
Guilt, self-blame, and remorse submerged her like a tidal wave.
Empress Dowager Wen felt a metallic taste in her throat, collapsing to her knees and coughing up large mouthfuls of blood.
"Shuang'er, my Shuang'er! Why is your fate so bitter..."
For a time, cries and wails blended into one.
At this moment, only Emperor Qinwu remained somewhat calm.
Emperor Qinwu spat out a mouthful of bloody froth. His pale face instantly flushed red with anger, veins bulging on his forehead as he pointed a trembling finger at Shen Han.
"You... you beast!"
"I married my daughter to you, and you actually used her as a cultivation vessel! Shen Han, you are courting death!"
With that, he charged at Shen Han!
"Hmph! You're the one courting death!"
Unhurried, Shen Han dodged Emperor Qinwu's attack with a flash.
The next moment.
He raised his hand and struck Emperor Qinwu's chest with a palm.
Pfft!
Emperor Qinwu sprayed out a mouthful of old blood and flew backward.
"Imperial Father!"
"Husband!"
Qin Rumeng and Empress Dowager Wen's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly rushed forward to help Emperor Qinwu up.
"You... despicable villain!"
Emperor Qinwu's face alternated between red and green, and blood gushed from his mouth as if it were worthless.
"You actually poisoned the dagger!"
He felt the true qi flowing throughout his body become incredibly sluggish.
The moment he circulated his cultivation method, it felt as painful as being pierced by thousands of silver needles.
Shen Han looked down coldly at Emperor Qinwu: "The winner becomes king, and the loser is the bandit. As long as I can kill you, the methods don't matter."
"Morals are meant to constrain mortals, but this Buddhist Son has no morals!"
"Emperor Qinwu, you are old. It is time to yield this world to others!"
He walked step by step toward Emperor Qinwu.
The aura around his body continuously surged, and sonic booms echoed in the air.
The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch into spiderweb-like fissures.
"A Supreme Grandmaster! This... how is this possible!"
Emperor Qinwu's pupils suddenly shrank!
The entire Great Qin only had two Supreme Grandmasters in total.
He was one of them, and the other was Qin Xiao.
Remembering Qin Xiao, Emperor Qinwu suddenly shouted, "Rebellious son, come save me quickly!"
He was full of hope, his voice brimming with emotion.
He even thought to himself that once Qin Xiao saved him, he would definitely forgive Qin Xiao's recent actions.
But as he cast his gaze toward Qin Xiao.
There was no fierce intervention from Qin Xiao to launch a father-rescuing operation as he had imagined.
Instead, Qin Xiao remained completely unmoved, simply standing to the side and watching the spectacle.
He pointed and gestured at the scene.
It seemed... he was actually watching with great relish?
"Fengxian, this old thing has turned into a one-armed old man. Look at the state of him, tsk, tsk, tsk, how tragic."
Qin Xiao grinned and laughed, "Seeing him so miserable makes me truly happy!"
Lu Fengxian and Jia Xu watched the laughing Qin Xiao, the corners of their mouths twitching wildly.
Who said their Great General bowed and scraped before his relatives?
This was clearly a demon lord descended to the mortal realm!
"You rebellious son! I am on the verge of death, how can you treat me like this!"
Emperor Qinwu stared at Qin Xiao's delighted expression. His anger caused his blood to surge backward, and he spewed out yet another mouthful of fresh blood.
